"Wow~~~It's so fast~~~~"

A cheer rang out in the quiet forest, startling a large number of unknown birds.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Lu Li and I lined up and sat on the back of a lion, Yu Xiaoxiao had to sit at the front, while I sat in the middle, and Lu Li sat at the end. The black lion carried us without any difficulty, and nimbly bypassed the big trees, ignoring the weeds and vines on the ground.

But it's a pity that the lion's back is too spacious, so I didn't have a chance to hug Yu Xiaoxiao's waist from behind or something, and I felt like I lost 100 million.

Time rewinds a few minutes ago.

After Lu Li and I discussed, the two of them commanded the lion to lie down obediently, and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao, who was washing her face by the river, walking towards us, I coughed and said, "How did Xiaoxiao sleep last night?"

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, this big lion is still quite effective, like a big cushion, soft and warm!"

Lu Li and I exchanged a look very vaguely, Lu Li understood, opened the shadow space, summoned the map to pretend to look at it a few times, and said, "Hey, we are still nearly half a day away from the forest border, and if we continue like this, it is impossible for us to visit three water sources in three days." ”

I scratched my head and echoed, "It's annoying, what should I do?" and I reached out and touched the lion's broad back.

Yu Xiaoxiao's brain is actually not stupid, she just has some big nerves. After a moment's thought, my eyes fell on the lion's back with my movements, and a confident expression suddenly appeared on my face.

Lu Li and I quickly exchanged a "treacherous plan succeeded" look.

Yu Xiaoxiao snorted, sighed and said, "Hey! At this time, I still have to rely on a thoughtful girl like me to come up with ideas!"

Lu Li and I immediately put on a posture of listening to each other, and I added, "Dare to ask Ms. Yu Xiaoxiao what she thinks?"

Yu Xiaoxiao walked over and patted the lion's back, "Isn't this a ready-made mount?"

Lu Li saw the opportunity to add the last handful of firewood, "Hey, why didn't I think of it, why don't you ride it first?"

"No problem!"

Lu Li and I helped Yu Xiaoxiao to turn over and ride onto the lion's back, and at the same time slapped a high hand in a position that Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes could not see.

Later we found out that our worries were completely unnecessary, and that this lion was really docile, as if he had confessed to his lord, and even understood my commands.

We rode the lion and galloped along the river, which we had expected to take about three hours, but it took less than an hour.

Nothing happened along the way, and some small animals encountered should be afraid of the breath of lions, so they avoided from afar.

We stopped at the edge of the map, and Lu Li jumped off the lion to open the shadow space, summoning the map, and the three of us looked at it together for a while. Lu Li pointed to the three arrows on the map and said, "We're here now, and then—" He pointed to the small pond to the east and the lake to the west, "Our plan for today is to run to the pond from where we are now, and then set off towards the lake to the west, and then return to the river before the sun sets." But with the help of the lions, we should be able to reach the lake before evening. Is there anything you'd like to add?"

I glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao, she shook her head at me, I stared at the map for a few moments, and said, "I don't know why I have a bad premonition, this journey is a little too easy, if this is the so-called rookie trial, will anyone still not be able to pass?"

Lu Li frowned, "I actually feel the same way, but this is originally a trial for newcomers, and it is simply the past." ”

"I hope I'm thinking too much!" I clapped my hands, "Okay, let's rest in place for a while, and then continue on our way." ”

Lu Li put away the imaging space, and several people spread out and stretched their limbs.

I was about to find a tree to sit down and rest for a while, when the black lion, who had been lying beside me and grooming his hair, suddenly stood up and stared at the depths of the woods with some alarm, and let out a low roar in his throat, as if he had discovered something.

Lu Li and I became alert for a moment, and followed the lion's gaze into the depths of the woods, but found nothing.

Lu Li stared intently ahead, and asked me, "What's the matter, Wu Zheng, did your lion find something?"

I frowned, "What do you mean by my lion, and how do I know what he's doing?"

Before I had finished speaking, the lion suddenly stopped growling, shook his head in confusion, sneezed, and lay down to comb his hair.

Lu Li and I looked at each other for a moment, and we both saw confusion and confusion in each other's eyes.

"I think the lion must have discovered something just now, otherwise it wouldn't have suddenly made such a vigilant gesture. Lu Li suddenly said to me.

I nodded a little solemnly and said, "I also think there must be a problem, let's just not rest, hurry up!"

Lu Li nodded in agreement, I looked around, but I didn't find Yu Xiaoxiao's figure, "Hey, where is Yu Xiaoxiao?"

Lu Li also looked around, "I don't know, will it be convenient to go?"

I shouted at the top of my voice, "Yu Xiaoxiao?"

No one responded.

a DJ, this girl shouldn't have an accident, right?!

Thinking of the lion's reaction just now, Lu Li's heart and I suddenly rose to our throats. We both looked at each other and ran together in the direction the lion was staring at, and I turned back and shouted, "Black!

The lion heard my shout, seemed to know that "Old Black" was calling him, and roared as if to say, "I'm coming!" and trotted after us.

We searched through the jungle for a while, but found no trace of Yu Xiaoxiao. I stopped to catch my breath and looked back at the lion, and saw him sniffing something in the air with some vigilance, and I gestured to it with the attitude of giving it a try, "Old Hei, the girl and woman who is with us, can you find her through it?"

The lion looked at me gesticulating, and didn't seem to understand what I meant, but just stared at me motionlessly.

Lu Li on the side seemed to have discovered something, stretched out his hand and pointed to a low branch not far away, and said to me, "Wu Zheng, look what it is!"

I looked in the direction of his finger, and my heart cooled.

On a dense bush, Yu Xiaoxiao's small pink satchel hung diagonally, with a wisp of bright red blood stained on it.

I quickly ran forward and took off the satchel, wiped the blood stains on it with my fingers, and found that it hadn't dried yet, indicating that Yu Xiaoxiao should have just passed by here.

I threw the bag to Lu Li with my backhand, and he reached out to take it and looked at it, "There are blood stains, which means that she is in a bad condition now, at least she is injured." He looked at the bag in his hand and looked at the lion again, "Maybe the lion can help!"

"It's an idea!" I nodded, and Lu Li handed the satchel in his hand under the lion's nose to give him a sniff, maybe he would follow the smell like a hunting dog to find his target.

However, the lion became a little uncooperative at this time, and it could be seen that he seemed to be a little agitated, and kept turning in circles, sniffing his nose to and fro, as if he had smelled something that made him feel dangerous, and his throat kept letting out a low roar from the woods in one direction.

Lu Li tried a few times but he refused to sniff the satchel, both of us were very anxious, after finding that the lion always roared in one direction, I did not hesitate to say to Lu Li, "Go!

Lu Li had no other choice but to put on his shoulder bag and run in that direction with me. As I trotted, I looked back like a lion and saw that he yelled at us a few times with some anxiety, then paced the same place twice before finally running after us.

However, this area of the forest is too dense, there are many vines, and there are all kinds of low shrubs growing under the roots, and if you say that you can only run again, you can only move forward quickly while pushing away the grass.

However, this kind of terrain also has an advantage, that is, we can find from time to time that the existing bushes will have some traces of being trampled by something, and some broken branches are hanging on the trees, and the fractures are very fresh, it seems that this is the trace left by Yu Xiaoxiao, or the traces left by grabbing Yu Xiaoxiao's things.

The lion didn't seem particularly scared at the moment, and when he saw that we were walking slowly, he pounced on the two of us, staring at us with green eyes, and then slowly lay down.

Of course we understood what he meant, I rolled over and rode on his back, and raised my hand to pull Lu Li up, and when the lion saw that we were both seated, he suddenly stood up and began to run forward.

After running for about five or six minutes, I gradually felt a change in my surroundings. In the past, although the forest was a little quiet, you could still occasionally hear the cries of birds, and the roars of some unknown beasts, such as "oh oh" or "oh~~" and other sounds were often heard.

But now, all these sounds are gone, and the only sound in the whole forest is the "swish" sound of the lion stepping on the bushes, which is a little scary.

Thinking about it, the lion under him suddenly and slowly stopped, and I urged him to continue running forward, but he began to circle in place again, making a "purring" sound, and refused to take another step forward.

Lu Li and I had no choice but to jump off his back, the two of us glanced at each other, Lu Li opened the imaging space again, opened the map to observe where we are now. And I began to look around the environment, trying to find Yu Xiaoxiao's traces.

A majestic wind was blowing, and I faintly heard the direction of the wind, and there seemed to be the sound of dripping water. I quietly brushed aside the branches that stood in front of me and walked in that direction, and after walking about a dozen meters, a small waterhole suddenly appeared in front of me.

Surrounded by tall trees, there is a small turquoise pool, and it is not known whether the water itself is green, or if it is reflected in the reflection of the leaves.

The pool is small, about the size of a bedroom, and is surrounded by stones of all sizes. The land on one side of the waterhole is higher, and there is a wisp of clear water flowing out of the crack in the stone, flowing into the waterhole.

I looked around, but I didn't see any trace of Yu Xiaoxiao, and I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
